Really guys, Bulbapedia and Serebii have lots of info. No reason to hoard James with questions that can be found easily with the click of a mouse :3

@skaraflame: Adeku retains his name from the Japanese version, but James hasn't gotten to the end yet so how would he tell you?

I know this is my first post, but I just got directed here from Pokejungle. I follow Serebii, Pokebeach, Pokejungle, Bulbagarden, and rangerboard's pokemon thread daily. I've already played through an imported white so I know all the game's mechanics. I'm part of the crowd sitting around waiting for localization news. I'm waiting to find out the new names of towns, cities, characters, POI's, etc.

From the news that has been circulating around the websites so far, we have only gotten the names of all of the cities minus Kanawa town and Karakusa town and Pinwheel forest. Every other POI has yet to have their names made public. This is why I and most of the fandom appreciate it when people like Newton take the time to just post a plethora of information in between progress reports.

Where was the Adeku name let out? That makes me remember that the elite 4 names aren't out yet either.

I was just saying that it would be smarter and faster to find the info if it is available on the sites I mentioned, like the names of badges and such. I mean it's on the Gen V Bulbepedia Page, took me a total of 3sec to find. But the whole point of this thread is to ask him questions to see if he can answer them, so by all means, ask away.

though I'm sitting here wondering if you're all on the egdes of your seats trying to find out what the name of some random NPC is. I mean what's it matter really? xP

Almost all the names we know, even the Badge names, are the Japanese ones. Some people, like me, don't really like or get used to Japanese names in Pokémon. I want to know how the characters are called in the English version.

I think you meet the champion after you get four badges, before you reach the city of the fifth gym... he has four badges, right? Not really a spoiler. I'm just curious to know his name, because I almost never get used to the Japanese ones (in fact, I rarely learn them).

So... now I have two questions.The first one is the same I've been asking since last page, have you met the champion? I'd really like to know how his nameThe other one is: what do you think about the new region until now?

I think this is turning into a bit too much of a spoilerising discussion - that and I haven't got time to keep up with these questions and the rest of my stuff - so I'm going to close this thread for now.

Thanks to everyone who posted questions and those who appreciated this topic, as well as our new members who came here for information. Cheers
